Former President Donald Trump once again denied having any links with Project 2025—the controversial hard-right policy initiative prepared by conservative groups—Thursday, after Vice President Kamala Harris alluded to it being a blueprint for a second Trump term in her speech at the Democratic National Convention.
Former President Donald Trump speaks at the U.S.-Mexico border in Arizona.
In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump accused Harris of “LYING AGAIN ABOUT PROJECT 2025…THAT I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH!”
After Harris’ speech, Trump called into Fox News and said “She knows I have nothing to do with Project 25…I haven't even seen it, I don't want to see it.”
In her speech on the final night of the Democratic National Convention, Harris said Project 2025 lays out “what a second Trump term would look like,” adding that it was “written by his closest advisors.”
Harris said the “sum total” of the controversial far-right policy proposal is to “pull our country back to the past.”
Project 2025 was drafted by the Heritage Foundation and several other right-leaning groups to serve as a policy agenda for the next GOP president, and while it is not affiliated with the Trump campaign and Trump has sought to distance himself, several of its writers were former Trump administration officials.
